Lot # 2822: 1961 Fleer Football PSA MINT 9 and NM-MT 8 Complete Set (220)

Outstanding high-grade, complete set of 1961 Fleer football cards entirely graded and encapsulated by PSA. This is one of the finest collections of this popular issue we have ever offered. Fleer issued four football sets during the early 1960s in an effort to compete with Topps' established efforts in the sport. This complete assemblage of this classic and extremely popular set is highlighted by 38 Hall of Famers, including Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Paul Hornung, Jim Otto (rookie card), Don Maynard (rookie card), and Bart Starr, as well as non-Hall of Fame rookie cards of Don Meredith and John Brodie. The Fleer sets are far rarer than their Topps counterparts from the same era. PSA Grading Composite: MINT 9 (15 cards): #91, 138, 140, 142, 149, 151, 159, 163, 167, 174, 176, 182, 184, 195, and 214. NM-MT 8 (205 cards): Including #11 Jim Brown, 30 Unitas, 41 Meredith RC, 59 Brodie RC, 88 Starr, 90 Hornung, 117 Layne, 147 L. Taylor RC, 155 Kemp, 166 Blanda, 188 Flores RC, 197 Otto RC, 202 J. Robinson RC, and 215 Maynard RC. This is a remarkably consistent and extremely attractive complete set of this popular 1960s football-card issue that would be a worthy addition to even the most advanced collection. The total SMR value for the individual cards is $8,682. Total: 220 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
